Yum Yum Videos Reviews & Testimonials
Josh Reid Marketing Manager at Re-TRAC Connect
5.0★
Video Production Review from Josh Reid
Our software can be challenging to describe but Yum Yum really nailed it. We started by writing a script and provided the necessary background product information, and Yum Yum did the rest. We selected our voice actors (3) and received three different versions of our video. The price was completely reasonable for this quality of video and our contact, Barry, was great to work with. We highly recommend Yum Yum!
Joey Nutinsky CEO at Ruvna

Branding Review from Abby Smith, TMP
Our business has been working with id8 since late 2023, and their team has always been timely, organized and professional. The first time they unveiled our new logo, it was like Christmas morning! Since then, we've worked with them on complex projects like building a new website, coordinating photo shoots and updating signage for our office. Those are just a few of the things they have done for us, and they have always been so thoughtful and diligent in how they approach each project. Their approach is rooted in research and data, so we can feel confident we are making the right choices. Our meetings are always fun and lively, because the whole team is so personable. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with them!

They are incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. Id8 has become a trusted ally for our company and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them.

Adam N's Review Sourced from Google
id8 was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had coordinated with Brandi on getting a new logo made for multiple avenues I wanted to pursue and she was able to help me design a logo/brand that I'm totally in love with. From the very beginning and all the way to the end, she was always able to deliver, provide feedback and execute stunning design options that were all so good. She was also able to take my logo/branding goals of being versatile and transforming those ideas into concepts that spoke volume.Though making a decision on just one design out of a couple was hard in the end, I eventually went with one that had the best look and feel that represented what my brand needed to be. I would highly recommend id8 for any graphic design work as they are awesome at creating designs that have a deeper philosophical meaning that will make anyone appreciate the reasonings behind what they create.

James and his team at Mission Control are exceptional and not the norm when it comes to creative agencies. They take time to understand your needs, meet your deadlines and are always available to you, no matter the time zone. I worked with them in my last company and have made sure to continue with them in my new position as they are superior to any company I've worked with in the past (and I've worked with many). Communication, creativity and quality work from Mission Control is outstanding!

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish.I chose Digital Consulting over larger, more established companies because of their personal approach, responsiveness, and genuine interest in understanding exactly what I needed - and it was the best decision I could have made.Their professionalism and communication were exceptional throughout the entire process. I was always kept in the loop, and nothing ever felt too much to ask. They delivered a final product that not only met my expectations but truly exceeded them.What really stood out to me is how much they care about their work and their clients. You simply don’t get this level of attention and dedication from bigger agencies.On top of all that, the value for money was incredible. I’m extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable web development.

We involved multiple reviewers with different perspectives and rounds of feedback, and he handled each revision thoughtfully and accurately, making sure the final product reflected what we needed. Overall, it was a great partnership that led to an excellent outcome. We would gladly work with Sebastian again.

Hi - I worked with Ideal Insights for a sustainability video we needed for an accreditation. From the very start we felt we were in safe hands. Nick Twigg made the entire process so user-friendly, it was a pleasure to work with people who "just get it" ! The storyboarding, creative inputs and suggestions on direction were first-class. They did everything, from auditioning actors, to writing the script and on-the-day filming. All of this was done with minimal disruption to our business. A fair and realistic fee that gave us the quality and the outcome we desired. I would definitely use again, and highly recommend their services.Stuart Leckie - Marketing Director - St Ermin's Hotel (London).

We'd never worked with the guys at Ideal Insight before so, while their portfolio was very impressive, we weren't really sure what to expect. Not only are the people really great to work with, but their team are helpful, professional and eager to make suggestions to either improve our vision or enhance it. We filmed for a day and ended up with better content than we could've hoped for, and we're looking forward to working with them on more content in the future!

Laurena McKenna's Review Sourced from Google
Nick Twig and his team had a two-week brief to put together a compelling, visually-pleasing 4-minute corporate video for a last-minute conference we were attending. We interviewed three other video production companies for the job, but Ideal Insight was way ahead of the rest, with regards innovative and workable creative concepts that fulfilled the brief perfectly. In a nutshell, they just got us and our business straight away. We knew a two-week deadline was a big ask - but Ideal Insight worked night and day to meet the deadline - and even coped with some changes we wanted to make at the last minute.I’ve dealt with a number of video production companies before, but none have come anywhere close to offering such an astounding service, fast turnaround and true understanding of your business as Ideal Insight. I couldn’t recommend more highly.Laurena McKenna, Head of PR, Dark Intelligence

Reviews verified by DesignRush and sourced from the agency's profile View All Reviews
An animation company is a specialized company that creates animated content using traditional hand-drawn animation, computer-generated imagery (CGI), stop-motion, and more. It produces diverse visual media, such as feature films, television shows, commercials, video games, and digital web content.
By combining artistic skills with advanced technology, it brings characters and stories to life. It caters to diverse industries like entertainment, advertising, education, and corporate communications, helping businesses convey complex ideas and narratives compellingly and memorably.
Animation companies include producers, creative and technical directors, storyboard artists, character designers, animators, editors, 3D modeling specialists, and other support staff.
Through their structured approach and creative expertise, they address various business challenges, such as:
Lack of clear messaging, storytelling, and explanation for complex concepts
Struggles with brand differentiation
Limited advertising impact
Insufficient engagement with educational content
Weak emotional connection with audiences
An increasing number of marketers recognize the effectiveness of animated content in attracting intended audiences and improving their key performance indicators (KPIs). Notably, 42.5% report a significant increase in social success metrics, 34.5% observe longer average time spent on websites, and 28.5% note a boost in click-through rates (CTR) due to animations.
Success Story
To reinforce these points, our agency experts recommend a case study from Prolific Studio, demonstrating how animation companies transform creative visions into captivating content that strengthens a brand's impact:
Challenge: LT & Friends envisioned an entertaining and informative 3D animated rap video for children. It needed to capture the attention of this specific audience while delivering positive messages.
Solution: Prolific Studio's team of creative animators conducted detailed research to understand the target viewers' developmental stages, preferences, and interests. Based on this, they combined fun animation with music to convey and instill values. The process included testing and optimization by showing sequences to a sample audience and implementing their feedback to ensure the final product would resonate well.
Results: The 3D animated rap video exceeded the client's expectations and captivated young viewers' attention. LT & Friends' brand manager reported that it went viral with 5 to 12-year-olds, the target demographic. The video became one of LT & Friends' best-performing content pieces, achieving high engagement and increased merchandise sales.
What do animation companies do?
Animation companies create moving visual content ranging from simple cartoons to complex, high-quality 3D animations. These professional agencies create characters, objects, and environments that bring brand stories to life by expertly blending artistry and technology. They serve diverse industries, providing animated content that enhances marketing and instructional experiences across various media platforms.
Their crucial service offers encompass:
2D animation Animation production companies craft traditional hand-drawn or digital animations for TV shows, commercials, and educational videos. This process involves creating images that simulate movement when displayed rapidly.
3D animation They develop lifelike animations with depth, which are used in feature films, video games, and virtual reality (VR). This involves modeling and rendering to create three-dimensional objects and characters.
Motion graphics Combining graphic design with animation, these agencies create dynamic visuals typically used in ads, title sequences, and informational videos. This service animates text, logos, and other graphic components for better visual communication.
Character design and development Animation companies create concept art and character models to ensure personalities and figures are ready for animation.
Storyboarding and pre-visualization They plan and envision scenes before full production to give clients a preview of the final product, ensuring alignment with project objectives.
Visual effects (VFX) Animation production companies add realistic and fantastical elements to live-action footage to create scenes impractical to shoot in real life.
Post-production services They edit and fine-tune the animated content, adding sound effects, music, and voiceovers.
Success Story
To illustrate the real-world application of animation services, our subject matter experts share this case study from ByteChimp:
Challenge: Automated Intelligent Marketing (AIM), an insurance software aimed to boost website conversion rates. It wanted an animated explainer video to simplify technical concepts for its clientele and promote its insurance products. Thus, AIM approached ByteChimp because of its expertise in 2D animation, which enhances brand recognition and reduces support queries.
Solution: ByteChimp's creative strategists, project managers, sketch artists, illustrators, and animators crafted intricate frame designs, characters, scenes, and real-life imagery in a unique metaverse style. It revised sketches based on AIM's feedback and refined voiceovers until they matched the video's aesthetic perfectly.
Results: The final product was a 90-second 2D animated video that addressed common customer questions and issues. The animation project reached a broader audience and bolstered AIM's brand presence.
How much do animation production companies charge for their services?
Animation production companies typically charge $25 to $150 per hour, depending on the video type, project complexity, output quality, length, and number of revisions.
For instance, high-quality animated videos generally cost between a few thousand and tens of thousands of dollars. For example, a simple 30-second explainer video might cost $2,500-$5,000, while a more complex 2-minute video with custom characters and special effects can exceed $20,000.
Expect to spend $2,500-$10,000+ per minute for 2D animation, with 3D animation costing 2-4 times more.
The agency's team size and expertise also affect the per-minute pricing, as follows:
Mid-tier (With two-three team members)
$3,000-$7,000
Professional level (With a pre- and post-production crew)
$8,000-$25,000
Broadcast-level
$25,000-$100,000+
The top 50 animation companies on DesignRush charge an average of $138 per hour. 18.3% of these firms accept projects under $1,000, catering to independent creators, startups, and small businesses looking to produce high-quality animations on a limited budget. Meanwhile, 1.6% undertake projects with a $50,000 minimum budget, offering complex customizations for optimal viewer engagement and brand storytelling.
Why should I hire an animation production company?
You should hire an animation production company because it can enhance your project with professional expertise, high-quality production, and creative storytelling while ensuring cost efficiency. A professional studio can contribute experience, resources, and talent to achieving your goals for marketing and entertainment, among other purposes.
Hiring an animation production company is advantageous for your business because it:
Has intensively trained artists, writers, designers, and directors who can create well-crafted animations with professional finesse
Develops unique storylines by translating ideas into memorable narratives with impactful messaging
Uses advanced tools and technologies to ensure the final output meets your specific requirements and the industry standards
Ensures the visuals, characters, and themes are consistent with your brand's identity and values, strengthening recall and coherence across different media
Overcomes technical limitations with efficient and creative solutions
Provides a comprehensive production service, including sound design and voiceover for the project's overall quality
Has access to a large network of voice actors, sound designers, and other creative professionals
Handles projects of any size and complexity
Ensures timely delivery and quality control
Saves you significant expenses for software, equipment, and training while achieving superior results
Success Story
In the following example, selected by our agency specialists at DesignRush, we can see all the benefits of collaboration with an animation company. This case study demonstrates how By The Booth used its animations to launch and promote Ddrops’ products in the international market.
Challenge: Ddrops, a health and wellness brand, wanted to enhance its visual identity while maintaining its established integrity. It wanted to expand the narrative through animation without discarding the successful components of its existing promotional campaigns.
Solution: The Booth used Ddrops' existing illustrations as a foundation for the project. Its team crafted a series of stylish motion graphics that seamlessly integrated with Ddrops' current brand identity. Given the client’s health and wellness focus, By The Booth carefully studied the product offers to ensure ethical and professional representation in the scripts and storytelling.
Results: The collaboration resulted in the production of 6 motion graphic videos and 3 live-action videos, along with several other versions tailored for the UK, US, and Canada markets. Ddrops continues to use the animations on social platforms, reinforcing the brand's market leadership.
